CPNB - Het kleine geschenk - [Z.pl.] - Vereeniging ter Bevordering van de Belangen des Boekhandels - 1946 - 1st edition - 32 pp - Stapled wrappers - 9 x 13 cm.

Condition: Good - with some wear and rust.

Book Week gift 1946. Small booklet with information about the history of the Book itself. With contributions by Jhr. D.M.R. Rademacher Schorer (about 'The book in occupation time'); D.A.M. Binnendijk (about 'The bibliophile book'); D. van Gelder ('Het exlibris' - illustrated with plates) and G.H. 's-Gravesande ('Een eigen bibliotheek').

¶ [Cf. De Bakker p. [17]; Blom p. 65]. Circulation: 80,000 copies. (More than 200,000 were requested, but the paper shortage after World War II prevented this.) This is one of the rarer gifts because of its size and ephemeral nature.
